Lavorgo (622 m/2,041ft) lies in a magnificent setting, with the long crest of the Monte di Sobrio on the left and a series of ridges running down from Campo Tencia and the Cima Bianca (2,630 m/8,629ft) on the right. Below Lavorgo a narrow road goes off on the right, crosses the Ticino and runs up (4km/2mi) to Chironico (800 m/2,625ft), a
beautiful mountain village with a fine Romanesque church (12th C.) and the 14th C. Torre dei Pedrini. Beyond this, in the Biaschina gorge, the Ticino bursts through into the lowest part of the Valle Leventina (beautiful waterfall).
